Good luck with the car. I have some questions that were answered here already...I have a 92 also Calypso Red, M3 exhaust, bilstein suspension, Tranny has some issues too though. I was told it was a GETRAG and to get a ZF from a later model with a few mods to make it work. Any comments or ideas would help. When you do drop the tranny check the starter and clean it up, may have issues later and it is easier to change it when the tranny is out, use quality parts and oils etc. don't waste time being cheap, I decided a long time ago to treat it like it was going to last a million miles, only 800,000 more to go and still strong little engine, just needs some gears now...
